Revenge
by David Allan Coe and Jimmy Sadd
as performed by David Allan Coe
A D E A
Judy, I feel weary now, older than a man of 33
D E A
The gates of Hell just opened, after 20 years the warden says I’m free
E
Revenge was all I wanted
D E A
When I killed the man that took your life that day
D E A
I’ve had my satisfaction, but the price was more than love should have to pay
E D
Lord knows you weren’t no lady, and the witnesses
E A
All swore you was to blame
E
And the way you teased the menfolk,
D A E
The jury all agreed you knew no shame, knew no shame.
Second verse:
Well I’m glad that you can’t see me now
You’d probably say I do not look my best
Those lawyers took my money, and that Louisiana road gang took the rest
And Judy I can’t even conjure up your picture in my mind today
Lately I’ve been thinkin’ what a fool I was to love you anyway
Last verse:
Well it all seems kind of useless
As I place these flowers on your grave today
I don’t know what I’m doing here,
I’ve forgotten all the things I came to say
